Ecclesiastes 2
1 I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good!” But it proved to be futile.
Na ce wa kaina, “Zo, zan gwada ka da jin daɗi don in ga abin da yake da kyau.” Amma wannan ma ya zama ba amfani.
2 I said of laughter, “It is folly,” and of pleasure, “What does it accomplish?”
Sai na ce, “Dariya hauka ce. Kuma me jin daɗi yake kawowa?”
3 I sought to cheer my body with wine and to embrace folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.
Na yi ƙoƙari in sa raina yă yi farin ciki da ruwan inabi, in kuma rungumi wauta, hankalina kuma yana yin mini jagora da hikima. Na so in ga abin da yake da daraja ga mutane a duniya a’yan kwanakinsu.
4 I expanded my pursuits. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself.
Na yi ayyuka masu girma. Na gina gidaje wa kaina na kuma shuka gonakin inabi.
5 I made gardens and parks for myself, where I planted all kinds of fruit trees.
Na yi lambuna da wuraren shaƙatawa, na shuka itatuwa masu’ya’ya iri-iri a cikinsu.
6 I built reservoirs to water my groves of flourishing trees.
Na yi tankuna don in yi banruwan kurmin itatuwa.
7 I acquired menservants and maidservants, and servants were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me,
Na sayi bayi mata da maza, ina kuma da waɗansu bayin da aka haifa a gidana. Ina da garkunan shanu da na tumaki da na awaki fiye da duk wanda ya taɓa zama a Urushalima kafin ni.
8 and I accumulated for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I gathered to myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men—many concubines.
Na tara wa kaina azurfa da zinariya, ina da ma’ajin sarakuna da yankuna. Na samo wa kaina mawaƙa mata da maza, da dukan irin matan da kowane namiji zai so.
9 So I became great and surpassed all in Jerusalem who had preceded me; and my wisdom remained with me.
Na ƙasaita fiye da kowane mutumin da ya riga ni zama a Urushalima. Cikin dukan wannan, hikimata ba tă rabu da ni ba.
10 Anything my eyes desired, I did not deny myself. I refused my heart no pleasure. For my heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor.
Ban hana kaina duk wani abin da idona ya yi sha’awarsa ba; ban hana zuciyata wani jin daɗi ba. Zuciyata ta yi murna da dukan aikina, wannan kuwa shi ne ladan dukan famata.
11 Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had toiled to achieve, I found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
Duk da haka sa’ad da na duba dukan aikin hannuwana, da abin da na yi fama don in samu, sai kome ya zama ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai; babu wata riba a duniya.
12 Then I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what more can the king’s successor do than what has already been accomplished?
Sai na juya ga tunanina don in lura da hikima, da kuma hauka da wauta. Me ya rage wa magājin sarki yă yi fiye da abin da aka riga aka yi?
13 And I saw that wisdom exceeds folly, just as light exceeds darkness:
Na ga cewa hikima ta fi wauta, kamar yadda haske ya fi duhu.
14 The wise man has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also came to realize that one fate overcomes them both.
Mai hikima ya san inda ya nufa, wawa kuwa yana tafiya a cikin duhu; amma sai na gane cewa ƙaddara ɗaya ce take samunsu.
15 So I said to myself, “The fate of the fool will also befall me. What then have I gained by being wise?” And I said to myself that this too is futile.
Sai na yi tunani a zuciyata, “Ƙaddarar wawa za tă same ni ni ma. Wace riba ce hikimata za tă jawo mini?” Na ce a zuciyata, “Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.”
16 For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, just as with the fool, seeing that both will be forgotten in the days to come. Alas, the wise man will die just like the fool!
Gama ba za a ƙara tunawa da mai hikima ko wawa ba; nan gaba za a manta da su. Yadda wawa zai mutu, haka ma mai hikima!
17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Don haka na ƙi jinin rayuwa, gama aikin da ake yi a duniya yana ɓata mini rai. Dukan abin da yake cikinta kuwa ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
18 I hated all for which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.
Na ƙi jinin dukan abubuwan da na yi wahala ina yi a duniya, gama dole in bar su wa na bayana.
19 And who knows whether that man will be wise or foolish? Yet he will take over all the labor at which I have worked skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.
Wa ya sani ko zai zama mai hikima ko kuma wawa? Duk da haka zai mallaki dukan aikin da na yi da ƙoƙarina da kuma dabarata a duniya. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
20 So my heart began to despair over all the labor that I had done under the sun.
Saboda haka zuciyata ta fara karaya a kan dukan faman aikina a duniya.
21 When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great evil.
Gama mutum zai yi aikinsa da dukan hikimarsa, da saninsa, da gwanintarsa, sa’an nan dole yă bar dukan abin da ya mallaka ga wani wanda bai yi wahalar kome a ciki ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, hasara ce mai yawa.
22 For what does a man get for all the toil and striving with which he labors under the sun?
Me mutum zai samu daga aikin da ya yi duka, da irin ɗawainiyar da ya sha a kan yin aikin a duniya?
23 Indeed, all his days are filled with grief, and his task is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.
Dukan kwanakinsa aikinsa damuwa ce da ɓacin zuciya; ko da dare ma hankalinsa ba a kwance yake ba. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani.
24 Nothing is better for a man than to eat and drink and enjoy his work. I have also seen that this is from the hand of God.
Ba abin da mutum zai yi da ya fi yă ci, yă sha, yă ji wa ransa daɗi daga aikinsa. Na lura cewa wannan ma, ya fito daga hannun Allah ne,
25 For apart from Him, who can eat and who can find enjoyment?
gama in ba tare da shi ba, wa zai iya ci yă sha yă kuma ji daɗi?
26 To the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner He assigns the task of gathering and accumulating that which he will hand over to one who pleases God. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Ga wanda ya gamshe shi, Allah yakan ba da hikima da sani da farin ciki, amma ga mai zunubi yakan ba shi aikin tarawa da ajiyar dukiya domin yă miƙa wa wanda ya gamshi Allah. Wannan ma ba shi da amfani, naushin iska ne kawai.
